Client: unhappy with crowding along the upper front teeth and colour of teeth. Solution: Clear Aligner treatment to move the teeth into the smile zone, followed by Teeth Whitening. Treatment time 11 months.
Client: adolescent client and parents unhappy with generalized crowding and (dentist concerned about) deep overbite. Solution: Clear aligner treatment to move the teeth into a more correction functional and aesthetic position. Treatment time 18 months.
Client: unhappy with the position of the front four teeth: the centre two are large and bend back, while the next two front teeth are small and sit forward. Also unhappy with the “dark side corridor” on both sides between the back teeth and the lips. Solution: Clear Aligner treatment; the teeth were moved (or aligned) into their correct position resulting in a smile that naturally fills the lips and face. Treatment time 9 months.
Client: unhappy with the colour and “age” of the teeth. The colour request was beyond what teeth whitening could provide. Solution: ten porcelain crowns placed to establish the client’s colour request and a more youthful looking smile.
Client: unhappy with the shape and worn look of the upper front teeth and concerned for the health of the two upper front teeth. Solution: 26 porcelain crowns placed over all teeth. When all teeth have crowns placed over them, the treatment is known as Full Mouth Rehabilitation or Occlusal Rehabilitation. This extreme treatment was required to restore the shape and length of the front six teeth and for the survival of the teeth.
Client: unhappy with the colour, the wear and the missing teeth in the upper left quadrant. The client mentioned that he wanted to his teeth and overall smile to look younger. Solution: Twelve porcelain crowns and bridgework placed on the upper teeth. Note the teeth are lighter in colour, longer, more uniform and the smile is slightly wider to “fill” the shape of the mouth.
Client: unhappy with rollercoaster smile, missing teeth showing in photos, every tooth a different colour. Solution: porcelain crowns and porcelain bridgework on the upper twelve front teeth, resulting in restored health, restored missing teeth, and uniform straight looking smile.
Client: unhappy with upper front six teeth. The upper and lower back teeth were restored with porcelain crowns by Dr Pulvirenti about 10 years ago. The upper front six teeth have large resin fillings that are now worn and are breaking down. Solution: six porcelain crowns placed over the front six teeth. Special care was taken to copy the existing shape of the teeth as the client requested to keep the natural contour of their smile.
Client: unhappy with the colour of single upper front tooth after root canal treatment many years ago. The tooth is completely strong and healthy. Solution: Teeth whitening on all teeth and one porcelain veneer to match the exact colour and character of the twin central incisor tooth.
Digital Photos, Digital Scans (to replace dental impressions) and Digit Smile Design technology is used to perform all Cosmetic Smile Makeovers at Edward St Dental. This enables the client to see what their new smile will look like before the treatment starts. This has shown to provide comfort and confidence to the patient's smile makeover journey.
Client: unhappy with the colour of their teeth, their “small teeth”, and how their smile appears “small” or “unseen” in photos. The colour desired is beyond what teeth whitening can achieve. Solution: professional teeth whitening to remove years of tinting followed by ten Porcelain Veneers on the upper front ten teeth resulting in a bright, full and straight smile the client has always desired.
Client: unhappy with dental crowding. The client also has two baby teeth still present in the smile as the corresponding permanent teeth are missing. Solution: Clear Aligner treatment to move the upper front teeth into the smile zone, and re-shape the two baby teeth with aesthetic composite resin to copy the shape of permanent teeth. Treatment time 14 months.
Client: unhappy with shade of teeth. Not concerned about mild crowding. Solution: In-chair teeth whitening. Treatment time 60 minutes.
